Unfortunately, there's not simple formula to identifying all of the factors of a number and it can be a tedious process when trying to identify the divisors of larger numbers. To find the factor combinations of the number 141,202,399, it is easier to work with a table - it's called factoring from the outside in.
We start by creating a table and writing 1 on the left side and then the number we're trying to find the factors for on the right side in a table. Then, below that, write the numbers as a negative as well.
| 1 | 141,202,399 | |
| -1 | -141,202,399 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 141,202,399.
Example:
1 x 141,202,399 = 141,202,399
and
-1 x -141,202,399 = 141,202,399
Notice both answers equal 141,202,399
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 141,202,399 and divide it by 2:
141,202,399 ÷ 2 = 70,601,199.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 70,601,199.5 are factors. In this case, the quotient is not a whole number. Don't write anything down and try the next divisor.
Here is what our table should look like at this step:
| 1 | 141,202,399 | |
| -1 | -141,202,399 |
Now, we try dividing 141,202,399 by 3:
141,202,399 ÷ 3 = 47,067,466.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 47,067,466.3333 are factors. In this case, the quotient is not a whole number. Don't write anything down and try the next divisor.
Here is what our table should look like at this step:
| 1 | 141,202,399 | |
| -1 | -141,202,399 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
141,202,399 ÷ 4 = 35,300,599.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 35,300,599.75 are factors. In this case, the quotient is not a whole number. Don't write anything down and try the next divisor.
Here is what our table should look like at this step:
| 1 | 141,202,399 | |
| -1 | 141,202,399 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 13 | 59 | 227 | 767 | 811 | 2,951 | 10,543 | 13,393 | 47,849 | 174,109 | 184,097 | 622,037 | 2,393,261 | 10,861,723 | 141,202,399 |
| -1 | -13 | -59 | -227 | -767 | -811 | -2,951 | -10,543 | -13,393 | -47,849 | -174,109 | -184,097 | -622,037 | -2,393,261 | -10,861,723 | -141,202,399 |
